Dropped-head syndrome resulting from injury to the central spinal cord at the upper cervical level.
There are many causes of paraspinal muscle weakness which give rise to the dropped-head syndrome. In the upper cervical spine the central portion of the spinal cord innervates the cervical paraspinal muscles. Dropped-head syndrome resulting from injury to the central spinal cord at this level has not previously been described. We report two patients who were treated acutely for this condition. ...
متن کاملSagittal spinal pelvic alignment.
The goal of any ambulatory patient is to maintain a horizontal gaze with the least amount of energy expenditure. With progressive deformity, and in particular sagittal malalignment, significant compensatory mechanisms must be used to achieve this goal. Each pelvis dictates the amount of lumbar lordosis required through its morphometric parameter pelvic incidence. The pelvis may compensate for d...
متن کاملSagittal spinal alignment and ambulation
A relationship between spinal deformity and ambulation is yet to be clarified. We hypothesized that undesirable spino-pelvic alignment affects walking ability. The purpose of present study is to clarify an influence of spinopelvic alignments on walking ability. Consecutive patients who visited our institution between October 2011 to September 2012 were retrospectively surveyed. The cases of neu...
متن کاملSagittal alignment after single cervical disc arthroplasty.
STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. OBJECTIVES To analyze the sagittal balance after single-level cervical disc replacement (CDR) and range of motion (ROM). To define clinical and radiologic parameters those have a significant correlation with segmental and overall cervical curvature after CDR. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Clinical outcomes and ROM after CDR with Mobi-C (LDR, Troyes, France) pros...
متن کاملDropped head syndrome in severe intractable epilepsies with mental retardation
PURPOSE Dropped head syndrome is characterized by a gradual forward sagging of the head due to the isolated weakness of the neck extensor muscles. The syndrome has a relatively benign clinical course. To date, there have been no reports of dropped head syndrome in epileptic patients. METHODS Nine patients with intractable epilepsy (mean age, 33.6+/-9.91 years), each presenting with apparent d...
